Photos show flowers outside Nvidia’s headquarters following Jensen Huang’s resignation
Apparent tributes to Jensen Huang were photographed outside Nvidia's headquarters following his resignation in the midst of an affair scandal.
Flowers and a candle were left outside Nvidia's Santa Clara headquarters following CEO Jensen Huang's resignation. The founder and longtime chief executive stepped down amid a scandal involving multiple extramarital affairs and allegations of being targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. Several bouquets of flowers and at least one candle were photographed outside the company's headquarters on Thursday.
The tributes highlight Huang's significant influence in the tech world as Nvidia grew into one of the world's most valuable companies and a leader in the AI boom. Huang's signature leather jacket and name had become synonymous with the company. Colette Kress, Nvidia's CFO, was named interim CEO while the company searches for a replacement.
After the announcement, the stock of Nvidia dropped 13% from the previous Friday's market close. Tech and business leaders expressed their thoughts on what Huang's absence will mean for Nvidia's future. Workers carrying Nvidia's green badges and backpacks appeared to be going to work as usual despite the shake-up.
